Thank you Jane.

I had attempted to buy this book but was unfortunately out of stock. I am looking forward to doing the Camino, should be a great experience!

I am now thinking of the Potugues route (230km). I reckon this could be a more achievable target and as you said Jane, is a consderably shorter distance. How long would this take to achieve? 2 weeks?

Thanks for the advice. I have done a trek in the jungles of Thailand, so am quie use to walking in the heat. But I do agree with the distance of the walk.

I'm new to Runners World and have no idea if anyone has done a thread similar. Apologies if it has.

Hi All,

I am thinking of doing the Camino de Santiago next Summer, walking the 780km route within 4 weeks. Few questions:

1. How fit would I need to be? Am already rather fit, go to the gym and am doing 2 10k runs next year.
2. Would 780km be achievable in 4 weeks? And,
3. Would you reccomend going with someone or is it just as good going on your own and meeting people on the way?

Thank you for your help in advance.
